    Abstract: Integrated circuitry interconnect structures comprising a first metal and a graphene cap over a top surface of the first metal. Within the interconnect structure an amount of a second metal, nitrogen, or silicon is greater proximal to an interface of the graphene cap.

The second metal, nitrogen, or silicon may be introduced into the first metal during deposition of the first metal, or during a post-deposition treatment of the first metal. The second metal, nitrogen, or silicon may be introduced prior to, or after, capping the first metal with graphene.

  • Publication number: 20220199620
    Abstract: Integrated circuitry comprising a ribbon or wire (RoW) transistor stack within which the transistors have different threshold voltages (Vt). In some examples, a gate electrode of the transistor stack may include only one workfunction metal. A metal oxide may be deposited around one or more channels of the transistor stack as a solid-state source of a metal oxide species that will diffuse toward the channel region(s). As diffused, the metal oxide may remain (e.g., as a silicate, or hafnate) in close proximity to the channel region, thereby altering the dipole properties of the gate insulator material. Different channels of a transistor stack may be exposed to differing amounts or types of the metal oxide species to provide a range of Vt within the stack. After diffusion, the metal oxide may be stripped as sacrificial, or retained.

  • Publication number: 20220199812
    Abstract: Transistor structures with monocrystalline metal chalcogenide channel materials are formed from a plurality of template regions patterned over a substrate. A crystal of metal chalcogenide may be preferentially grown from a template region and the metal chalcogenide crystals then patterned into the channel region of a transistor. The template regions may be formed by nanometer-dimensioned patterning of a metal precursor, a growth promoter, a growth inhibitor, or a defected region. A metal precursor may be a metal oxide suitable, which is chalcogenated when exposed to a chalcogen precursor at elevated temperature, for example in a chemical vapor deposition process.
